Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recreation the Basis of Association Between Parents and Teachers One winter´s evening several years ago, a tough walked into a New York evening recreation center. He had gone there with the avowed purpose of "cleaning out" the whole place, but on observing the rather determined and capable athletes who were present he gave up his idea, and stood watching some boys do stunts on the horizontal bar. Presently the gymnast in charge noticed him and asked him to take his turn with the others. To his astonishment he found that he could not perform feats which the others did with ease. The instructor gave him some points and he improved. The next night he came again, and the following one also, each time making straight for the little group around the horizontal bar. He soon became more proficient than any of the other boys. In the meantime the principal of the center had learned that the new youth was the leader of a notorious gang which had long terrorized the neighborhood. Seeking him out one night the principal suggested that he might care to organize a basket ball team among his fellows and take part in some of the match games which were being held in the center. The boy brought in his gang. In order to get up a team they had to hold meetings, and the principal gave them the use of one of the class rooms. To transact business it was not possible for all the boys to talk at the same time. There had to be some order in the speaking. The club-director gave them some assistance and presently the leader of the gang found himself enforcing the ordinary parliamentary rules that obtain in public meetings. Having formed a basket ball team that played regular match games the boys fell into the habit of meeting at the center. The team was a nucleus, which, under the stimulus of a meeting room, all their own, grew into a club. Besides holding match games the new organization began to hold debates.
